AI in the Classroom with Penny Darrah (2 PD hours)

This workshop gives you a clear, approachable look at what AI is and why it matters for today’s educators. We’ll explore practical ways AI can support lesson planning, differentiation, and creating materials—tools that help you reach more learners while also improving presentations, emails, and other everyday tasks, with educators as the primary focus but benefits for everyone. You’ll see real examples you can adapt to your own program and get a sense of how AI fits into your existing workflow. We’ll wrap up with a hands‑on segment where participants try out a few different activities, so everyone leaves with skills they can use right away.
